Here's something I've been thinking about but haven't come to a solid conclusion on, let's say by some miracle the FO doesn't pull a Plax and shoot itself in the leg, Orakpo falls to us and we take him at 13. IMO he isn't LB material and must be used at DE. Do you plug him at RDE (Carter's spot) where he'd be most effective and could be a bigger, stronger, although slightly less explosive D. Freeney and move Carter to LDE? Or do we put him at LDE and move him over to RDE in a year or two when/if Carter declines? I'm leaning to putting him at RDE and moving Carter.

Nothing like a huge bit of pre-draft speculation, but it's better than constant QB talk. LOL.
